Synopsis

From Dennis Lehane, the award-winning author of Mystic River, Shutter Island, and the Kenzie-Gennaro series, comes a surprisingly different collection of five short stories:""Running Out the Dog""
""ICU""
""Gone Down to Corpus""
""Mushrooms""
""Until Gwen""At turns suspenseful, surreal, romantic, and tragically comic, these tales journey headlong into the heart of our national myths—about class, gender, freedom, and regeneration through violence—and reveal that the truth waiting for us there is not what we'd expect.

Goodreads review by Mario

"People are selfish, Doctor- odiously, monstrously, but in so small and paltry a monstrousness that we barely notice it." Every story felt like a glimpse into another one of the darkest parts of a human mind. Lehane proves once again that he is one of the best writers of dark thrillers and mysteries.......more
